You have just proved my point. MS is usually mum on games for tthe next year since they want to focus on the current year's games so they can sell more. 2010 was a fluke, most of the games in 2010 were just delayed 2009 releases. Hell Gears 3 was supposed to be a 2010 release.

Retail sequel to shadow complex, with better graphics, online, co-op, and a zoomed in camera. q1-q2 2011.


Hell yeah, that would be well worth it to me. I could end up liking that better than Gears 3 anyway. 

Look at the bright side, as others have said, the delay will probably result in a better game.



I LOVE paying for Xbox Live! I also love that my love for it pisses off so many people.

@jadedx why would they be mum unless they had something to show??? that doesnt benefit them in anyway by saying "surprise" such such in coming out in a few months. Why give the comp. ahead start in that regard??? I still think that they dont got nothing, but hell I could be wrong will find out in a few months

You not understanding the whys and hows of the way MS does things is irrelevant. Jadedx is just saying that MS is known to do things that way.

You're still dont get it, MS has been doing this since 06, and its been working very well. By focusing only on their fall lineup the games sell much better. When the new year starts MS starts announcing games; two examples are Gears 2 @GDC 08, and Forza 3 @e309.



okay, I do get it. but im not a fortune teller Im only going by the info I have right know.  How do you know for sure that MS has more stuff coming. YOu cant, unless you work for them. Ill say it again we have to wait and see, but whats happens when January comes and goes in Vegas and we just see more Kinect stuff??? Not flaming, just a question

How do I know? Years of watching MS. What if they announce more Kinect games? Great, more games for me to play.

Good, I can wait as long as it takes for them to actually make a solid game. The last two weren't solid but flawed in ways that potentially could have been fixed with more time and now that G3 is delayed lets hope this intices them to release an over-the-top quality game. So much potential for this burdened series just makes me kwy.

Epic: Gears of War 3 delay 'not a quality issue'

 

Epic has told us that delaying Gears of War from next April to autumn 2011 was "a business decision" and not "a quality issue".

Executive producer Rod Fergusson added that the game is on track to be the most polished Gears title yet.

"I know fans are going to be disappointed with the new release date, but rest assured that this is a business decision between partners, and not a quality issue," he said.

"Gears 3 was on track to be the most polished Gears of War game ever when it released in April, and this additional time allows us to polish it that much more before it hits shelves next fall. 

"Next week we have a major multiplayer press visit at Epic HQ, and I'm really looking forward to the fans getting to see and hear about Gears 3 Versus multiplayer for the first time. Lots more exciting news to come."

Earlier today Gears of War 3 was delayed by a minimum of five months.

Explaining the shock move, Microsoft said that it wants the game to be "the marquee title for the holiday season", adding that "Gears of War 3 promises to be the biggest entertainment launch of 2011."

Oh yeah totally right? Yeah they're gonna finish it by March and then just let it sit around until Christmas.

I don't know about anyone else but I'm not so much of an idiot to understand that the longer it takes to put product out in this industry the more dev time is integrated within it. Sure it was a business decision but I'm still glad because that gives them another 6 months to work on it.



So, judging by this "MS only annouces stuff the year they are released" we can tell they won't have any non-kinect before E3



But war... war never changes
